THE iDAILY EVENING TELEG I? APn.-LHit ADELPIIIA SATURDAY, JUNE lG.18Gtf,
A Great Cabinet Warehouse.
In plancln over the manufacturing- statistics
of our city, the reader will find that the product
ion of Cabinet Furniture forms a conspicuous
item. Not only lm the amrretrate amouot of this
leature of our productive industry do we excel,
tnit in the superiority of our workmanship.
This well-known reputation has been sustained
by several torms prominent among whom is the
house of P. P. GuRttne. riortrioto,t rnr.ipr nf '
second ana Uace streeU. The latter has, Indeed,
perfected an establishment which, for extent
and completeness in all its details, will bear
.comparison with any other in the world,
Mr. Gustine commenced business some fifteen
Tears ago in a portion of the premises which he
now occupies, and after achieving a success at
tained by tew, under the necessities of an in
creasing trade purchased and fitted up in ap
propriate sljle his present Immense business
edifice. Ihe la ter has a front of Utty-tlve feet
on Second street, witb the depth of a hundred
teeton Race street, together with all of the ad
mitting building on the north bide a"iovo the
Jirst story. The whole of this spacious structure
is occupied by Mr. Gustine as manu'acturing
and salesrooms, in connection with a four-storv
building on Front street, above Vine, which 1
exclusively devoted for manufacturing.
It has always been Mr. (Justine's aim to popu
larize his business, and his success Is happily
-atter-ted in the great establishment which we
"are now deFcriblnsr. We doubt 11 there is
another house in the United States in which the
extremes ot elegant and costly cabinet-ware are
combined witb so extensive an assortment of
lower-priced grades.
On eiiterlug the house the great show-room on
'the first floor forms a capital index to the whole,
where specimens of nearly every description of
his wares are arrargetl in sjstemano profusion.
Ascending to the floor above, we are ushered
-into a scene of cabinet-wnre luxuriance, in
which the most fastidious connoisseurs at house
furnishing con least their fancy, aad, it tliey
have the aherewitual, gratify liieir tastes in
. adorning their homes. Articles of wa'nuc, rose
wood, and mahoaony; articles upholstered with
velvet, plush, satins, reps, Hiid hair-cloth; suits
lor the drawing room, suits for ths dining-room,
suits for the parlor, suits for the chamber,
in every variety and grade of richness,
are here displayed, together with a large
ai-sorttueut of plain arid marble-top cot' aire
suits, wardrobes, book-cases, etageres, easy
arm and fancy chairs in large variety, and
every other imaginable article connected with
this branch of manufactures. The beauty and
novelty of Mr. Gustine's designs, no less than
the exquisite finish of his work, are rapidlv
attracting to his establishment the very best
trade, not only of our own, but of the cities
throughout the West and Soulh. The tact tnat
Mr. Gustine manufactures goods second to no
other maker !n the country, and sells them at
proverbially low prices, has largely contributed
to this result, in the article of chairs, which
lor many years, we believe, he has male a spe
claltv, his facilities are probably unequalled.
In passing through the upper stories we were
amazed at the perlect chair-wilderness which
they contained.' We may here state, that for the
purpose ol giving additional celebrity to bis
work, Mr. Gustine has left no stone unturned.
The various improvements which he has intro
duced in the process ot finishing, the scrupulous
regard which he observes in the selection of
materials, and bis reputation for employing only
first-class workmen, are all well kaown. Among
the hands in his establishment, numbering about
seventy, there Is probably not one who has not
been made a more thorough and efficient me
chanic under Mr. Gustine's superior regulations
. and discipline.
The basement of the bnil iine contains an im
mense stock of lumber and fiuibhed work ot the
lower-prired grades. The establishment here
referred to is one in which the humble dweller
in the most remote rural cottage, the proprietor
ot the largest hotel, and tbe merchant prince
who resides m a palace, can have their wants
promptly supplied. In fact, in the manufacture
ot cabinet furniture, Philadelphia may safely
challenge tbe world; and to carry the figure a
Btpn fmther. Mr. Gustine mav as safclv chal

A Murdkr Down Towx Escape of
the Muedkkkb Last evening a fatal affray took
piace in the lower section or the city, of which the
lollowire are the particulars:
Arnold Cii house was a German aged about forty
years, a shoemaker bv trade, and resided at Ho 723
Passyunk road, be.ow Fitawater street. Gilbouse
was acquainted with an Irishman named James
Deveney, who frequently visited tollhouse's house,
and who, report states, was acquainted with Mrs.
Gil house before her marriage. This led to some
reeling on the part of Mr. tollhouse, and a too olose
Intimacy between the twain wai suspected by the
husband.
last evening Dcveny, who had been indulging
rather freely in liquor, went as usual to Oiihoate's
. residence, and there met Mr. Gi bouse, who had
also been imbibing rather fr elv. Home words
passed between them, when both went oat for the
ostensib'e purpose of getting something to drink at
a beer bouse near by, W hen Gilbouse loft tbe heuse
be carried ith him a kitchen utensil, called a skil'et,
and when on the other side of the street the two got
into a fresh quarrel, when Devenlv obtained posses
sion ot the skillet, and struck Giihonae on the head,
lolling him to tbe ground.
G-lhouse was taken np and conveyed to his resi
dence, where ho died this morning abont halt-oast 8
o'clock.
After knocking Githonse down , Devenly ran down
Monroe street, cut throagh a court, and jumping
over a tence, made his way into Shipoeu street, and
succeeded in euecting his escape. Ihe deoeased
leares a wile and twe children. At tho latest ac
counts Devenly bad not been arrssted.
Insane Department of the Axms
hocsb. Quite a number of Individuals have re
sponded to the suggestion to contribute books and
magazines tor the nse ot tbe insane at the Alms
house, one party recently contributing about
seventy bound volume, besides a large amount of
magazines, unbound books, and pamphlets; all
which will add greatly to the means of alleviating
the sorrows ot tbe inmates. A few more contribu
tions ot tbe same sort will enable the Superinten
dent to entirely rearrange and catalogue the library
for the daily use of the patients under his charge.

In the libel case of ItfcGhon arainst Clophane, in

llglnal letter, aileired to hare -contained' libe lous

by Lewis Clephane, Collector of Internal Revenue.
1 be letter charred that UcGbon was disloyal, and,
in consequence of tbe ohsrfre, MciJhon lost some pro
fltab'e jobs with the Depar.'ment. Secretary Stanton
made an affidavit statins that he is advised by tbe
Attornej-Goneial that such communications ad'
dressed to the bead of a Department are privi'eired,
and that their evidenoe against the party tusking
them to not requited by law.
It in tho opinion of tbe Court, the production ot
said paper Is not a legal obligation but rests on his
official discretion, then he deo Ines to produce it or
testify concerning it, be. loving that the production
of such papers lrom .Department fllos would be a

Honae of Brpreasmtatlve; ,
Imiiiediatply after the readtnir of the journal,
Mr. Morrill Vt.) stated that he believed this
would be the last day of the sessioif that would
be devoted to general discussion, and ho hoped
that members would make the most of rt, and
tbat they would be prepared to work ever other
day of tbe session, which he hoped would now
be very short.
Mr. OarHeld (Ohio) gave notice that he would
next Monday oiler a resolution directing the
Uoninilttee on Mileage to examine and report
what discrepancy, It any, there was between
the amount of uilleare received by members of
the last Oonrrees and the amount claimed by
them, and directing the Committee to allow no
more mil outre in luture to a member than is
claimed by him. ,
He explained the reason why he wished the
resolution to be adopted. On looking into Exe
cutive document No. 12.i, showing the pay and
mileage ot members lor the last Congress, he
lound himecll set down as being paid for 2740
miles of travel, being for 685 miles four times,
whereas he had only claimed, in answer to the
circular sent him by the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Mileage, 665 miles as the distance from
his home to Washington; that, multiplied by
four, would make the number of miles lor which
he should have been paid, 2260; so that he was
paid for 480 miles more than he had claimed.
Drawing his mileage in sums tf titty aud a
hundred dollars, he had not noticed the dis
crepancyand it was only on referring to tha
document that he became aware of the fact. He
found now, on inquiry, that other members
from Ohio, and perhaps from all parts of the
country, had been allowed more m.leage than
they had claimed. I
The gentleman from Cleveland (Mr. Spauld
ins:), claimed for only 610 miles, and was
allowed 34, and his colleague (Mr. Schenck)
claimed for only 889 miles, and was allowed for
812. The letters in which they statnd the num
ber of miles travelled, in reply to the circular
of the chairman of the Committee on Mileage,
he iound in the room ot the Sergeant at-Arnn,
indorsed witb tbe increased number of miles
"Approved J. W. W." (The InitUls ot Mr.
White, of Ohio, chairman of the Committee.
Reporter.)
In the case of his colleague (Mr. Schenck). lie
had aiscovered the discrepancy on being paid
the balance due him on the last day of Congress,
and bad declined lo receive the increased
amount. It appeared that the Committee on
Mileage had in this way got up a scale of dis
tances utterly unknown to the members, and
now the whole thing was published to Congress
and the country, and members were set down as
haying received a very considerable amount
more than they had claimed. i
He therefore gave this notice that he would,
on next Monday, ask unanimous consent to otl'er
the resolution directing the Committee on
Mileage to infinite into the matter. i
Mr. Davis (Kv.) eu.aee9ied locularly that the
extra mileage allowed may have been tor tbe
distances travelled by members in panlng
between the tellers when vol iug. !
No busincs being in order, except sreneral
